The Deputy Minister for Social Services, Julie Morgan, has urged people to speak up if they are concerned about child abuse, as a new national campaign launches at the start of National Safeguarding Week.

Safeguarding is about protecting vulnerable children and adults from abuse and neglect and ensuring their wellbeing. Making sure people are supported to live full and happy lives is also an important part of safeguarding.

Safeguarding Week will see a range of activities across Wales to which members of the public and safeguarding professionals are encouraged to attend.
